This is my surprised face :o\
UNITED NATIONS,: Yemen’s Houthi rebels used civilians as human shields, Daesh militants in the country received an influx of cash and Al-Qaeda has improved its roadside bombs, according to a confidential report by United Nations experts monitoring sanctions on Yemen.

The 105-page report, seen by Reuters on Thursday, on the implementation of an arms embargo and targeted sanctions on ousted Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh and four Houthi leaders has been submitted to the 15-member UN Security Council sanctions committee.
